Bang for buck cpu that will pair well with a 9060XT and CL30 RAM. Limited time deal.
CamelCamelCamel.
i run this with a 5070ti for an ultrawide 144hz and a 4k 120hz setup, the higher the resolution, the more gpu limited you tend to be, what resolution do you play at?
1440p
theres only a few cpu heavy games you need to be aware of but most of the time, thats a good setup for most games
The 7700 on aliexpress has been on sale lower than this if you don't mind waiting
AM5 is starting to be great value.. :) The stock cooler sux though and you are better off with anything else.
The 7600x deal is arguably better. the stock cooler is near useless and better get a $29 thermalright one.
Near useless is a bit strong haha. I got the 7600 and using the stock cooler. Works fine for me, not noisy and keeps temps in check under load.
TDP is 105W on the 7600x and 65W on the non x variant
you mean 95c at load constantly?
I got the 7600x a few weeks ago for $216. Definitely a better deal at that price. I’m going for a very small footprint build so no use for the stock fan anyhow.
how did you get it at $216?
I can’t remember man haha but it was through Amazon uk. Maybe it isn’t showing up right on my invoice, but it says $216 Aud. Felt like a good deal!
@jrowls: Could be the $10 promo credit from NAB or the $20 first app payment or the 5% payTo promo or combo of them. anyway doesn't matter, its a good deal as you said.
@RTX9090ti -The 7600x was a great deal (I bought it at that price) but it has expired. There's not much difference in gaming performance/FPS between the 7600/7600x/9600/9600x (except if you using a high end GPU eg 5080/5090). Run the 7600/9600 in PBO and you'll get very close to 7600x/9600x performance but higher watts consumed and more heat. Run the 7600x/9600x in PBO and you'll higher watts consumed and more heat for very little performance gain. Run the 7600x/9600x in eco mode and you get 7600/9600 performance for less watts consumed and heat.
Buy whichever of the 7600/7600x/9600/9600x is the best deal at the time and, if you want, tweak the BIOS.
If you're on a tight budget and have a half decent airflow case and fans the wraith stealth will work just fine.
I prefer the X one due to overclocking capability, hence I said the stock cooler near useless in overclocking scenario.
personally I'm waiting for Clear deal on 7700X from Ali due to the 8 cores.
Great CPU - Runs everything really well with a 4070 super @ 1440p.
Included cooler is fine for a low-spec setup but didn't do too well with my itx build.
Will it go with a 9070xt or wait for something better?
